More and more traditional applications such as payment, transport ticketing and identification are embracing contactless technologies. In fact, by 2020 more than 60 percent of all payment transactions alone will use contactless technologies such as NFC (Near Field Communication). At the same time, these applications are increasingly being delivered through multi-purpose cards. Especially as government-issued ID cards and passports merge with other applications, the enabling security chips are challenged to deliver a new dimension in security, performance and adaptability.
